According to TMZ, and I am sure many sites will be picking this up soon, Randy Orton has been scrapped from starring in the next "Marine" flick. WWE had admitted that they made a huge mistake in casting him because of his history with the USMC. Because of the two times he went AWOL, many folks (including Randy's former unit) were furious that he was ever given the role to begin with. And so, WWE has decided to remove him from the project.

I think this was a brilliant decision by WWE. They made a huge error in judgement by casting him in the first place. Sure, it was a bad decision to begin with because he is a horrible actor but even more than that, how could anyone think it was smart to cast someone who deserted their country and couldn't care less to play a marine in a movie? Just a total insult. But WWE is making the right call here by undoing the damage. Good decision!

This is honestly great news! Now all the WWE needs to do is undo the damage they did to Daniel Bryan at Wrestlemania and it would seem like everything is golden with the WWE these days.

Even though I'm a Canadian as soon as I read that Randy Orton would be starring in a Marine movie even I was offended. Anyone who has abandoned their country should never be giving any spotlight to act is if they are a hero for their nation. I have respect for both Canadian and American servicemen and women and this was a necessary move by the WWE. I'm sure Orton is happy he's off the project to be honest with you.
